The point is that I'm an idiot, and don't know much about anything,
except that asking questions and hearing people's answers is fun for
me.

So. The cosmic rays, there is no direct evidence that black holes are
made when they collide, correct?

Besides energy levels, are there no other differences between LHC and
cosmic rays?
